Ken Cope Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 My previous avatar was created sometime in 2008 using DrawPlus so I thought it about time it was updated (plus it was a good excuse to use AD).

Bri-Toon Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 You certainly have a great feel for vector drawing. I really like the multicolored skin and how it flows. Designer is such a handy tool, isn't it? Quote The website is still a work in progress. The "Comics" and "Shop" sections are not yet ready.

Bri-Toon Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 By the way, there is a website in which people pay to have their photo turned into a cartoon. If you do this frequently, maybe you could start up your own service and draw people as cartoons. https://www.fiverr.com/categories/graphics-design/create-cartoon-caricatures#filter=rating&page=1 Quote The website is still a work in progress.

Very interesting indeed. I need to experiment more with other gradients. Illustrator only had linear and radial whereas Designer and DrawPlus has more. I was wondering how Ken's colors flowed smoothly like that. I keep forgetting about the other gradients. It's great to know how much can be accomplished.

It's great to know how much can be accomplished. I use a combination of gradients with elliptical, linear or flat opacity.

Bri-Toon Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Maybe I'll experiment with elliptical then since I'm familiar with the other two. Conical seems confusing.

Ken Cope Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Just a quickie, I altered the eyes and eyebrows slightly and have updated the image in the first post.
